‘Bataan’

YESTERDAY we saw a Hollywood bunch act out a story about Bataan in M-G-M’s film of the same name which opened at Loew's. It is a bloody little drama all the way from the opening scenes of the retreat down the peninsula to the last shot showing Robert Taylor, last man of a squad ordered to prevent the Japs from crossing a ravine, firing into the advancing enemy hordes.

Nothing is said here that wasn’t said more adequately in the play, “The Eve of St. Mark,” from which this epic seems to draw of its inspiration. But it is Said with considerably more viodence and a good, all-male cast. £ For a change, no one wits the war single-handed and perhaps fhis effort conveys some inkling of the heroism of the men who Went down on Bataan to give the eountry 96 days in which to gather itself. . . The jungle scenes, the men un- ~~ der fire and the characterizations ‘are done a little bit better than Hollywood ordinarily does them. = The only stock character present is Robert Taylor who plays #& tough sergeant, but even he Jooks good in this one. The natural drama of doomed men is Bvickoned by a heavy jungle at-

mosphere and punctuated by Sule den death. “Bataan” is a long-drawn epi sode of war into which a note or two of realism has crept. The heroics are many and the suffering is great. First, the captain is picked off by a Jap sniper. Then, one by one, they go down—Barry Nelson, Phillip Terry, George Murphy, Thomas Mitchell, Desi Arnez, Lee Bowman and finally Lloyd Nolan and Taylor in the finale. If you want blood and thunder, this is it, but a little better blood-and-thunder than the mine run. A brace of Walt Disney cartoons will cheer you up afterwards.

HOOVER LISTS PEAGE ‘MUSTS’

Destructive Dynamic Forces Must Be Removed, He

Warns.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (U. P.). —Unless the destructive dynamic forces which cause modern wars properly are dealt with at the peace table no world organization of nations will be capable of preserving peace, former President Herbert Hoover and Hugh Gibson said today in an article in Collier's magazine. These forces, which the authors say were not properly dealt with in the treaty of Versailles, are listed as ideologies, economic pressures, imperialism, extreme nationalism, militarism and the complexes of fear, hate and revenge. It is in the political, military and economic settlements between nations where the destructive action of these elements first must be allayed or stilled, Hoover and Gibson wrote. They added that “unless the foundations are properly laid, the superstructure will fail. It is here that the world has - failed before.”

Hit Trade Barriers

The authors recommended immediate establishment of representative governments in all liberated and enemy countries but they cautioned against too much inter-

mestic life of another. Ideologic penetration was warnéd against as a “form of aggression as obnoxious as war.” Trade barriers should be reduced to the utmost minimums practicable and there must be assurance that international commerce will be conducted by private enterprise, they said after hitting at Versailles for its neglect of the “whole economic field.” “Trading by governments, or government subsidy of trade, at once concentrates the haggling of the markets with their thousand frictions into a direct question between state departments and foreign offices,” the article continued.

Suggest Federation

Different races can live amicably together under proper ‘conditions, the ‘authors contended, and they recommend the federation of small European states economically and defensively under a system similar to the cantonal system of Switzerland. Forcible dismemberment of Germany after the war, they say, “would add only to the economic and political Balkanizing of Europe.” Complete disarmament of Germany, Italy and Japan was presented as the only method of breaking up the military castes of these countries and ridding them of the philosophy that war rejuvenates races. Victorious nations must guard against the spirit of militarism as well, the authors said, and drastic reduction of their armies and navies is recommended for this reason as well as for the reason that the armed victors will be distrusted by their weaket neighbors. Here it was emphasized that reduction of armaments among the united nations must,come soon after firing ceases and before opposition to such .a policy can be allowed to develop.

WOUND DEATHS

Doctors Saving 5t09 Times More Soldiers in World War Il.

By Science Service CHICAGO, June 1l1.— American doctors are saving from five to nine times as many soldiers from dying

of battle wounds in this war as was possible in world war 1, it appears from casualty figures announced by Brig Gen. Norman T. Kirk, new surgeon general of the U. 8. army, at the meeting here of the American Medical association. The figures he gave covered the period during the phases of the North African campaidl before the army moved up into northern Tunisia. The death rate at that time in the evacuation hospitals was from 21% per cent to 3% per cent, compared to a death rate of 15 per cent to 18 per cent in evacuation hospitals in the last war. For the future, the army medical department hopes to have exclusive airplanes and possibly even helicopters for the evacuation of the wounded. So for in Africa, 13,000 sick and wounded have been evacuated by plane, Gen. Kirk said. But

"these evacuations were in planes

used to take supplies forward. Helicopters are being tested.

Plasma Saves Lives

Plasma, surgery and sulfa drugs were credited by Gen. Kirk in that order for the great saving in lives. Sulfa drugs will always come second to surgery and third to plasma in saving the wounded, he said. This is because shock and hemorrhage

the biggest threats to the life of the wounded. The percentage of survivals in cases of head wounds is much greater than in the last war, as is the survival in costs of abdominal wounds, with even those coming to operation late largely surviving. Of great help for these cases, Gen.

Kirk said, is the Levine tube, which

goes into the stomach through the nose and by suction keeps the stom-

The general health of the army in Africa has been excellent, better than was expected and better even than at home. Venereal diseases are the biggest health problem. “We are going to need more doc-

tors,” Gen. Kirk declared. “We must E

have enough to win this war, and we haven't started fighting yet. Tunisia and Guadalcanal were only side plays.”

SOVIETS AWARE OF ‘U. S. HELP—PRAVDA

LONDON, June 11 (U. P.).—The Soviet people are fully informed on lend-lease aid from the United States and “highly prize the support received from the American people,” the Communist party organ, Pravda, was quoted today in a Moscow radio broadcast. The editorial recalled the recent expressions of regret by Admiral William H. Standley, U. S. ambassador to Russia, that Russia was not letting ite people know of the assistance coming from America. “The Soviet people not only know of these deliveries but highly prize the support received from the American people,” Pravda said.

Gen. Jacob L. Devers, commander of U. 8. forces in the European theater, sald the trip home would be her most notable mission— “to carry a message which should hearten a great people.” Every man in the crew of 10 has been awarded the distinguished flying cross and air medals with three clusters.
